As much as I like girly tits and worry about the implications of the carbon tax, this is a fu*king vintage motocross forum blokes. You're all contributing to the forums rapid journey down the fuc*ing gurgler but nobody seems to give a damn.

Thats a Kum T Mmmmmmmm Kevvy........youd have to own one to appreciate it though.......I have 2 so I can have her sister aswell. ;D :-* :-* :-*

KTM or Maico, I don't know. The Grips look firm, but soft. I am sure she would handle well in the rough, just a guess with out checking out her rear end setup.

90% of mail is about Carbon Tax - Are we bored with bikes? Are we having a lean to the green side of life? are we just crusty old mx riders who have had there C/Dirt fix and are in limbo?......lol
This forum went off track months ago and most of the old school motocross guys moved on and what you have now is the result.
Any time someone puts up some real VMX content it gets buried in shit...

Race pants? Ummm, OK, go for it. But can you get ummm a proper model to show them off? Someone err younger and more curvy, perhaps even female?

Now, without meaning to piss in Jason's pocket, isn't that KX250 from East Coast Vintage gorgeous? Man I love the look of those things.

Here it is again (or if you prefer, look at the pic full size: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/jpw3578/Vintage%20Motorcross/1979%20KX250%20Fox%20Air/DSC07056.jpg)

when you put up a thread about a resto you've done no-one replies? yet you take the same bike to the track and spend all day talking to people about it.

Is that because it wouldn't start or because Anthony Gunther was helping you diagnose the problem  ::)
Looking for YZ250C parts NOS if possible

I'm with you Graeme & JohnnyO, the KX250 A5 is the sweetest.
I had one brand new back in the day and they went bloody good as well.

hell what about another good 'real HL500' topic, we can usually milk that out for 15 or 20 pages.

OR how about roach of the month, my magnificent low millage YZ250A that will be going on the slab next year when I return to NZ to lead my people.

There are thirty bike related threads on this forum. In those thirty threads are hundreds of bike related topics. There is one general discussion thread.  General discussion is usually for any off topic subjects that us motorcyclists are interested in.  In the hundreds of topics in the general discussion there is one about carbon tax.  Obviously it has some interest to people, as it has run for twenty odd pages.

I don't understand why the angst over one thread amongst hundreds.  It is to some degree still a free country and you can avoid that one thread.  Reading it and then wining about it doesn't contribute to the forum.  Go out to the shed take pictures of your bike junk and start a bike junk in shed thread or something.

As for soft porn, it lowers the forum further and I now have to make sure my kids aren't on my lap when I'm on here.  Those who complain the forum is going downhill may actually be oiling the wheels of decline.
